As of Dec 17th, Ty will be 23 months old actual and 19 months corrected. He is still 25 pounds and 34.5 inches long. <\/p>\n
Ty is losing that “baby” look and getting a toddler look as he stretches and thins. He still feels like my baby though:).<\/p>\n
PT Update<\/strong><\/p>\n Going well but Ty still can’t get to a stand on his own. He has to use an object to get to a stand. I don’t know if it is habit, balance, insecurity, inability….. He still walks like a new walker but he doesn’t hold his hands above his head anymore. He falls often and is quite clumsy but he is predominantly walking now which is awesome!<\/p>\n OT Update<\/strong><\/p>\n Ty is struggling with OT because he doesn’t like to be told what to do and when to do it. He gets pretty clingy to mommy each week when I bring him. Watching this trying to determine what the root cause is but I suspect it is (a) going through the need mommy stage and (b) doesn’t like structured play.<\/p>\n Eyes<\/strong><\/p>\n Will go to new opthamologist on Dec 22nd. I still say something is not quite right and I wonder if an eye weakness is contributing to his balance issues.<\/p>\n Speech Therapy<\/strong><\/p>\n I did not intend to start ST quite yet but somehow it got approved for me anyhow and I got a call asking when I want to start. I will at least have an eval done but I don’t think Ty will need ST right now. Admittedly though, I may be noticing progress and therefore unconcerned while all the while Ty is behind his age curve. I don’t know. It seems that if you use his 19 month age, he is doing great with speech though. Here is an updated word list:<\/p>\n He say’s several names (Mommy, Daddy, Papa, Sweetie, ….etc) So that is about 45 words not counting names. I think that is pretty good don’t you? Am I “off” here?<\/p>\n Recently he wanted me to look at the Jurassic Park watch in his hand and he wasn’t managing to convey what he wanted. Finally he started pointing to his eyes and then pointing to the watch. I finally caught on that he had invented a new sign for “look”. I thought that was quite smarty of him:).<\/p>\n When Ty is being onery he walks around the house saying “Pita pita pita”. I don’t know what that word means to him but usually when he is saying it he is up to no good.<\/p>\n He also thinks all food is “Pizza” and when he is hungry starts asking for pizza. This is strange because we rarely have pizza – guess he likes it.<\/p>\n Milestones<\/strong><\/p>\n We passed a new milestone and it is a fun one. As of Nov 20th, the boys started actually playing together!!! Yeah! They play chase, cars, and they pretend to shoot one another with their finger guns. I realize that many parents are very anti toy gun but I gave up on that long ago when Tanner was making guns out of everything (sticks, straws, wood…you name it). <\/p>\n Dddddaaaaaadddddddyyyyy!<\/strong><\/p>\n Ty is my daddy’s boy for sure. Lately he wakes up looking for daddy and every noise he hears he is asking “Daddy?”. He gets soooo excited when dad comes home. Part of this is because Ty likes food and so does Jim. Jim has a nightly routine of getting a snack for him and Ty to share when he walks in the door and Ty has this routine memorized:).<\/p>\n Yesterday the UPS guy came to the door and left a package. I didn’t answer it because I knew he left it on the doorstep. Ty thought it was daddy (no Jim doesn’ t normally ring our door bell before you ask that LOL). He sat at the door wailing and crying for daddy and kept pointing to the door. I kept explaining that it wasn’t daddy but he was giving me that pitiful sad cry with the little pucker and kept repeating “Daaaaaadddddyyyyy Dddddaaaadddddyyyyy”. I finally had to open the door and prove daddy was not waiting all alone outside. <\/p>\n Jim liked that story:)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As of Dec 17th, Ty will be 23 months old actual and 19 months corrected.
